Pros

Some coworkers are nice. The store manager is very good.

Cons

As far as cashier jobs go, this is the worst place to work...EVER. The HF cashier functions as the information person, the returns department, the sales department, the complaints department, and wait for it....the secretary. It's the cashier's job to answer all incoming phone calls, and it's expected whether you have a line of 10 people or not. Just today, I worked with 2 supervisors who were sorting price tags right next to the phone, and WOULD NOT ANSWER THE PHONE!!!!!!!!! They were not helping any customers, and I had a line of people, but they would not answer the phone. I got to the point that I refused to answer it--so the phone just rings and rings. Sorry HF customers--that's what happens when you have a climate of apathy and/or laziness.
